5 Deadly Sins of SharePoint in The Enterprise

SharePoint turned 10 years old recently and is now arguably among the most successful software ever in terms of sales and installations. There is almost universal agreement that the SharePoint 2010 platform is vastly improved from a technology perspective when compared to its predecessors.

Yet most organizations are only using a fraction of the product's capabilities, which can lead to frustration. The issues are as complex as the organizations themselves, but common themes can be identified and categorized into the following five most common "sins":

Treating Governance as a one-time event

IT leadership abdicating responsibility for Information Architecture and Roadmap

Treating user adoption & training as an after thought

Underestimating Human Resource implications

Failing to educate and engage executives
